Not Sure How to Feel
By snolie14 » Posted Jul. 16, 2018 12:45pm - 424 views - 7 comments

So, I went to the hospital on Friday to do all my pre-admissions stuff and while I am there, all the nurses and aids had to get a glimpse of me and tell me how they've all heard about my surgery coming up this week. Ok, so I am the freak show?? I guess I don't know if I should feel honored or mortified? I mean, it's not a common complication, so I can see the surgery center knowing about me, but telling me that they've never heard of accreta and they all have been briefed and read about it on their own?? IDK, but for some reason, it made me very uncomfortable. Should I be? Should I be grateful that they are educating everyone, so that they are all aware and understand this? They don't deliver babies in the main OR often, so this is a unique and special case!

Same BS happened when I went to L&D afterwards for my NST. Typically I'd go to my doctors office, but they didn't have any openings... so I go to register and the entire L&D staff seemed to want to get a glimpse of me.. they ALL knew about me, there too... OK, take a peek at the freak show?!

So, I am the talk of the hospital... go figure. I don't know if I should be glad or slightly freaked. Anyways, none of that helped my anxiety in the least... hopefully I can sleep a little tonight and tomorrow night - Wednesday is coming fast! TWO days away and baby girl will be here!

After today, just delivery and post partum!! Whew, what a long road, but it's totally worth it!! PS, loved your post with the audio!! <3
	Comment from calvingirl » Posted Jul. 17, 2018 2:15pm I'm nervous and excited for you!! Think about it this way - these doctors have polished up, researched, practiced, all to do your birth. You will have the most educated, the most prepared, the most attentive team of doctors that any woman could dream of. There's no way this isn't going to go fabulous! Most of us little people (smile) have doctors that just cut and pull and are probably thinking about what they have to pick up at the grocery store after work for dinner instead of paying full attention to a procedure they've done a million times. Keep us posted whenever you feel up to it...our thoughts are going to be with you tomorrow. I know mine are.
	Comment from snolie14 » Posted Jul. 17, 2018 12:17pm Thanks, NeoVictorianMom!! I think you've got some great ideas!! I am trying to make today a good day! I am working still, but at least I am able to work from home, so at home I am, comfortable in my space!! Everyone is still asleep, so I am enjoying getting some work done while I have it nice and quiet! I have to go to a NST at 11 and then after 3:30 I should get the call to confirm our time to arrive and so forth! I seriously doubt I get ANY sleep tonight! UGH! I am so ready to not be pregnant, but nervous! Baby girl will be delivered at 36 weeks 4 days, so almost 37 weeks. At least I've had the steroid injections for her lungs!! She should be close to 7lbs!! Here's to making today a great day!! Thx, again!

	Comment from NeoVictorianMom » Posted Jul. 16, 2018 5:42pm Be happy that you're teaching these people something new, and try to be excited about seeing your little girl. Excitement is much better than anxiety! I still have just a little over three weeks before I get to see my boy. I try to keep my thoughts positive on having a problem free c-section, a healthy baby boy and a simple speedy recovery. ( I know My C-section is just a normal one and less complicated than yours will be,even though it will be my 4th, but it's still a major surgery where anything can happen. and So I understand your anxiety) Maybe you and your husband can spend time alone tomorrow and talk about your little girl coming into the world, go out to dinner or something like that. try to make tomorrow a happy day! Just some ideas and positive thoughts for you! I will be praying for you and your family on Thursday morning for a complication free surgery, a healthy baby girl, and a speedy recovery.
	Comment from Marrina » Posted Jul. 16, 2018 4:16pm Hey, hope you're fine. I'm Infertile. I hear to my relatives that can said that you can visit the Adonis clinic. When, i visit it then, they cannot pay attention to my problem. Doctors are also uneducated. They don't know how to talk with their patients.Their attitude are very bad. Patients of their clinic goes from there and get treatment from another clinic.
	Comment from FlamingoGirl13 » Posted Jul. 16, 2018 2:50pm Put it out of your mind! This is your pregnancy and your baby and you get to meet her in two days! It doesn't matter what they all think. I hope when you return you feel more comfortable and they are more considerate of your feelings. Focus on getting ready for that little girl!!
